Introducing the latest addition to the Sabre Fleet: The Sabre 51 Salon Express! Without compromising on traditional grace and performance, the Sabre 51 features enhanced social spaces in both the cockpit and foredeck, perfect for longer cruises or a sunset cruise. Powered by twin Volvo IPS 800 engines controlled by the Sabre digital switching system and the Sabre connect app, take authority onboard your vessel with ease and experience a new standard in luxury and innovation.
The Sabre 51 Salon Express is designed to elevate every moment on the water. With intuitive joystick controls, Volvo IPS propulsion, and advanced digital systems Sabre ConnectTM, you're always in command-whether cruising at speed or docking with precision. Expansive cockpit seating and a versatile foredeck lounge, complete with a stowable sunpad and twin seats, create inviting spaces to relax, gather, and take in the view.
Below deck, the experience is equally refined. A galley-down layout keeps the salon bright and open while providing generous pantry storage for extended cruising. Two spacious staterooms, each with a private ensuite head, offer quiet retreat, and an optional third berth with its own head gives you the flexibility to host additional guests.
